I am concerned having endo increases risk of ovarian cancer. I'm scared :(

I think it does, but only very very slightly. It's not a significantly higher risk than in ladies that don't have endo xx

Thanks for your response, just worrying x

The risk of ovarian cancer in the average women (no endo) is instanely low, while endo I believe only gives you a 3% more chance of getting it. The risk is very low.
